Falcata Miniatura "Colonial Spanish" part II

                                       

                                               

            They don't look like it. You would not recognize the uniform. These are the guys that Zorro fought with in the TV series. The fat sergeant was in the dark blue jacket with a leather vest thingy.

            These men were never from Spain. They were locals. I will use a more brown tan fresh color for skin. Dusty flesh 6A and 6C only.

            The Dark blue jacket will be Foundry Prussian Blue. All 3 but not in the Foundry tri color way. 66C as an extreme highlight and 66A as the blending wash.

            The minis available come in a quilted and padded armor vest. It is not going to stop a bullet. It will take some kinetic impact and protect against a slash. Foundry Chestnut, 53, for the quilted and Rawhide, 11, for the padded.

            The last of the infantry in assembly. Gluing arms blows. More arms stick to me than the dudes.

            The spats or leggings are Foundry 10A with AP soft tone wash. 10B only highlight and a very thinned wash of 10A.

The labels never stay on the pots.

                The boots were base AP black. ! highlight Foundry 57A followed be a light dry brush of 57B. Then all washed with a very thin AP black.
                             

                I forgot I had Foundry 101. 101 is the best. I would have done the boots with it. But I am old and can't remember nothing. Half the belts and sword scabbers and every ammo pouch are 101B

            I did say I am old and can't remember. Well I can't see also. I was adding paint to the wet pallet missing the paper. Once the paint is on the sponge, its gone. After this BS, I stopped for the day.

            1st group is done. Flocked sealed and in the foam.

   

        Next up.

            No slap chop or inks or contrast. I prime white. Then wash with dark tone. I am old cannot see. The wash does two things. I get to see every detail and it black lines the mini for me.

Muskets and Tomahawks Palisade Wall

 

            This is an original Old Glory 15mm fort. I cannot say how or when I got it. Nor what I had originally planned to do with it. I have had it while in NY. It has been part of the shame for well over 12 years. 

Stock photo from Old Glory

             During the move from storage to my current home it got broke. I remember dad's face when he dropped the box and you could heard everything smash. It sound like china breaking. He had no idea what was in the box. Just that whatever it was, was no more. 

            The larger pieces took the most damage. It broke this way because of the resin used. It is that old school 80s type resin. Most breaks occurred where bubbles were or were the resin did not get pushed fully into the mold.

            The building and block houses I don't think I will ever use. Those I will sell off. The walls which broke and were put back together, with missing pieces, I can use. They are tall enough for service in M&T and Blood and Plunder. 

            I started with Otter Brown primer. A heavy dry brush of human fresh, junk freebe paint, with a wash of chocolate brown. Perfect look like wood, fresh cut. Palisade walls are grey and look old by the time they get completed.

Palisade wall at Jamestown

            Walls more grey. Not as grey as Jamestown. As those are probable 40 pus years old. They were there when I was there.

            And flocked.
